BaldrShe's a lot faster, but the scene they've mapped out has her doing thing that aren't physically possible.

But 1:40 - 1:45 was wonderful.

CornOnTheCabredude you're watching a movie about space cowboys being chased by a black ninja, sometimes you just gotta dive in head first with these sorts of things.

BaldrAll I'm saying is that a movie with space cowboys and black ninjas that has semi-realistic fight scenes is better than a movie with space cowboys and black ninjas with unrealistic fight scenes.

I am a man of simple tastes.

Now go cook me a better space-cowboy-ninja omelet.

Bitch.

AoiShe made it look a hell of a lot more realistic than what made the final cut. And I guarantee you that all the flat-out bullshit things were thrown in by Whedon to further emphasize his Waif's ULTIMATE PROWESS.

With Buffy, it'd make some sense, super-strength or whatnot. Crazy Girl was just supposed to be psychic, I thought, and not telekinetic-psychic, either. And she is neither fast nor strong enough to make even the plausible moves look good, let alone the implausible ones.

sosageThis brought to my attention that action scenes now days have a lot of unnecessary 'people running around aimlessly' in the background. Even she gets annoyed by it and throws something into one of the runner's spines.

For comparison's sake, I hopped onto YouTube and found a copy of the fight scene in the actual movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwVqW6J4FRc). Is it a surprise that this is miles above it? Better choreography, better editing, better everything.

Grace MugabeI can't imagine how frustrating it must be, after being part of creating something like this, to only have a sub-standard version see the light of day. Thank God for the internet.

CharlesIt wasn't nearly as good as the show. Maybe it was awful, but I think it was mainly because he just wanted to wrap up everything he would have been able to wrap up in a couple seasons if Fox hadn't canceled it.

FABIOOut of all the characters in the series, they decided to take the worst one (sociopath rape-happy bounty hunter) and use him for the movie.

IrishWhiskeyEr, no. Those two quite different looking black men were actually different actors and characters.

...well this is awkward.

bopetonI don't know what "Serenity" even is but this is a badass fight scene.

Robin KestrelI liked the movie, but yeah, this rehearsal take just makes the actual scene look bad by comparison. Part of it is the superior choreography and camerawork, but a lot of it is that I have no trouble believing that Bridget Riley can kick ass.
